GLOBAL ACTION TO PREVENT WAR is an emerging transnational network dedicated to practical measures for reducing global levels of conflict and to removing the institutional and ideological impediments to ending armed conflict and severe human rights violations.
OUR PROGRAM STATEMENT(a revised version will be uploaded shortly) grounds the goal of conflict prevention in specific integrated phases over a three to four-decade period and demonstrates in a practical and concrete way that we can move from an international system based on conflict and power relations to one based on law and multilateral institutions.
Download Our Global Action to Prevent War Program Statement: English • Japanese • Spanish This reasonable timetable thoughtfully integrates action towards successive advances in early warning, prevention of armed conflict, nonviolent means of conflict resolution, peacekeeping and peacemaking, transparency and other confidence-building measures, disarmament, and the implementation of criminal law regarding genocide and crimes against humanity.
For three days (and a fourth day of strategic planning) a group consisting of core GAPW/UNEPS affiliates and regional experts from Australia, New Zealand, Timor Leste and the Philippines came together to discuss key Global Action programs and initiatives. Conference participants through papers/presentations and discussions focused on three areas of concern towards achieving a world without war.
1. The need for robust conventional weapons reductions and an arms trade treaty
2. The need for nuclear disarmament undertaken alongside commitments to non-proliferation
3. The need for a standing, individually-recruited, rapid-deployment peacekeeping service that can reduce the costs and operational burdens of UN and regional operations that arrive on the scene too late to stop massive violence in its formative stages.
